2. 150 J of heat energy are given off by the resistor when 0.3 C of charge is passed
through the circuit. (Le. the battery gives off 150 J of electric potential energy to the
0.3 C of charge and this potential energy is given off as heat energy when the charge
passes through the resistor.)
Find the voltage of the battery. [f= 4 U
